LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1864. Escape of a Burglar from Bow-street Police Cells. T his Day. A circumstance of not very frequent occurrence, and therefore creating much excitement in the neighbourhood of the Bow-street Police•court, occurred this morning—namely, the escape of a desperate burglar from one of the police cella attached to the Court. The particulars are as follows :—This morning, between four and five o'clock, one of the constables of the F division on duty in Great Wild-street, Drury-lane, met a man (whose name is Sullivan) under very suspicious circumstances, he at the time having in his possession some pictures and a quantity of small miscellaneous articles, such us smelling. bottles, tools, &c. ; and suspecting they were the produce of a rotb-,ry, he stopped the fellow and questioned him as to how he became possessed of the property. He gave a very rambling account of himself, and this circumstance strengthening the police-constable's suspicions, he at once con veyed him to the station-house in Bow-street. Some time after, another police-constable of the same division observed two or three of the shutters of a shop in Great Queen-street occupied by a miscellaneous dealer bad been forced, and it then became known that a burglary had been committed. In due course the man Sullivan was placed before Mr. Henry, the sitting magis trate, at Bow-street, and the goods having been identified by the shopkeeper as having been stolen from his premises i the prisoner was put back into one of the cells, situated at the back of the court while the depositions were being completed previous to a committal for trial. This having been done, the prisoner was required again to attend in court, but when the constable went for him it was found he had escaped by climbing over the wall of the police court and crawling along the ledges and walls of the adjoining houses, until he reached the back yard of Mr. White, a grocer, in Great Russell-street, into which he must have dropped, and then proceeding along the pas sage, let himself out of the private door. The police authorities instantly made every effort to regain possession of the prisoner, but in vain. In the early:part of the day another prisoner was confined in the same cell as Sullivan, but his liberation rested upon the payment of a fine, and as his friends raised the money for his release it is supposed that the door by an accident was not properly secured when he quitted the place, and thus Sullivan had an op portunity presented to him of which he was not slow in availing himself of. Sullivan is known to the police, so it is expected ,hat ho will not long remain at large. THE TOWNLEY CASE. The following are copies of letters addressed to Sir George Grey by the Justices of the Peace who signed the certificates of insanity in the case of George Victor Townley : Spondon-hall, near Derby, Jan. 22. Si;,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Wadding• ton's letter, dated the 19th inst., enclosing some extracts from a letter which has been addressed to you by certain magistrates of this county, and calling upon me, as one of the magistrates who signed the certificate of the insanity of George Victor Townley, dated the 29th December ult., for an explanation of the course pursued by me on that oc casion. I can not only have no objection, but I am happy to avail myself of the opportunity thus afforded me, to state fully the steps taken by me in the matter referred to. On the evening of the 25th of December Mr. Leech, the prisoner's solicitor, called at my residence and desired to see me, and after explaining that an Act of Parliament provided that, on a certificate of a prisoner's insanity being signed by two justices of the peace and two medical men, the Secre tary of State should have the power to respite such prisoner, requested me, in my capacity of magistrate, to make a judi cial inquiry into Townley's state of mind. Mr. Leech also informed me that he had endeavoured to obtain the services of other magistrates for the same purpose, but without suc cess, and he named Sir Henry Wilmot (one of the visiting justices of the county gaol), who had declined to act, as (being an elderly man) he did not feel equal to it; and Mr. Davos, also one of the visiting justices, whom he (Mr. Leech) found was from home. Believing it to be ray duty to do so, I consented to enter upon the inquiry, and on the following day I proceeded to the county gaol, where I found two other magistrates for the borough of Derby—viz., the Mayor and Mr. Forman, together with two medical men—viz., Dr. Goode and Mr. Harwood. As, however, we were informed by the governor of the gaol that the Luuacy Commissioners were then with the prisoner (Townley), we decided, after waiting some con siderable time, to postpone our examination until the fol lowing day, so as not in any way to interfere with the com missioners. Accordingly, on the afternoon of the next day, Dec. 27, we again met at the gaol. Previous to examining the prisoner I requested to be informed of the exact purport , of the act of Parliament under which we were proceeding, whereupon the governor of the gaol himself produced the act, and it was read aloud in the presence of my fellow magistrates and myself and the medical men before named, the surgeon and the chaplain of the gaol being also present. We then proceeded to examine the prisoner, which we did at great length and with the utmost care, my two fellow magistrates and myself, the two medical men and the governor, the surgeon, and the chaplain of the gaol, being the only persons present. Having thoroughly convinced ourselves by such examination that the prisoner's mind was diseased to such an extent as to free him from all legal and moral responsibility, the form of certificate was prepared (by the governor's clerk), and was then signed by the Mayor, Mr. Forman, and myself, and by Dr. Goode and Mr. Har wood. Immediately after our signing the certificate the governor expressed his great gratification and approval of what had been done, adding that Now Townley could not be hanged.' On the Tuesday following, Dec. 29, I was again applied to by Mr. Leech, who stated that a doubt had occurred to him whether, in point of form, the certificate of Townley's insanity oughtjnot (in order to comply with the provisions of the Act of Parliament) to have been signed by two county magistrates, and that to obviate any objection on that ground he had requested Mr. Scott, of Draycntt, a magistrate for the county, to join with me in a fresh examination of the prisoner. I then saw Mr. Scott, who appeared at first re luctant to enter upon the examination, stating that he did not think it would be fair for him to do so, as he was so strongly prejudiced against the prisoner, and, to use Mr. Scott's own expression, " wished him hanged at all costs." I replied that I thought such a prejudice only made him the more fit person to make the inquiry, and we then proceeded to the gaol and entered upon a second examination, equally careful with the: first, as to Townley's state of mind, the same persons being present as before, except that Mr. Scott took the place of Mr. Forman and the Mayor. The examination having been concluded by Mr. Scott expressing himself to me as entirely convinced of Town• ley's insanity, and as I myself saw no reason to alter my opinion, but, on the contrary, was confirmed in it by what had passed, the certificate dated the 29th of December was then preparedjand signed. I may add that on leaving the prison Mr. Scott expressed to me his gratification at having been called upon to make the investigations, stating that, notwithstanding his previous very strong prejudice against the prisoner, he was now convinced that he (Town ley) was perfectly insane, and that it would be a sin to take away his life. I have now, I believe, stated every particular respectin g the origin and progress of the inquiry which resulted in the certificate of the 27th and 29th December so far as I was concerned in it. With respect to the statements contained in the magistrates' letter of the 15th instant, I cannot, of course, say with what views the visiting justices (viz., Mr. Mundy in the first instance, and Mr. E vans in the second) granted the orders of admission under which my fellow magistrates and myself had access to the prisoner on our making the examination above mentioned. On this point I can only state that I distinctly understood from Mr. Leech that on applying to Mr. Mundy for the requisite order he expressly stated to him the object which he (Mr. Leech) had in view in requesting it, and the Act of Parliament which it was sought to put in force. Neither I nor, I believe, the magistrates who acted with me, were ever requested to make the inquiry which we sub sequently made " as a preliminary to obtain Government commissioners." I fully understood, both from Mr. Leech and also from a perusal of the act, what was the nature of such inquiry, and what would be the effect of the certificate which I afterwards signed. Being conscientiously of opinion that George Victor Townley was insane (an opinion the result of the examination I had made, and not in the slightest de gree caused or arrived at in any other way or by any other means)), I signed the certificate in each instance with the intention that it should be acted upon by you, sir, as Secre tary of State, in the manner in which it has been. Nothing was ever said as to "appending any reasons to the certificates ;' no such question was event mootedifrom the commencement of the inquiry to the signing of the certifi cates, and how or by whom it could have been decided (as appears to have been since stated by Dr. Goode) ' to leave to persons more conversant the task of collecting and com paring the evidence for the Secretary of State,' I am alto gether ignorant, and am unable to conceive. " It is perfectly true that on the occasion of both exami nations, I was applied to by Mr. Leech, the solicitor, who conducted the prisoner's defence on his trial—but this did not appear to LOC to be any sufficient objection to my enter ing upon the inquiry which he requested. It was necessary, of course, for some ono to take the initiative, and it seemed to me nothing beyond what was natural and proper that the prisoner's family should be anxious for an inquiry to be made se that the act might be put in force if, as they no doubt believed to be the case, the prisoner should be found to be a fit object for its exercise. That my :opinion was in the slightest degree based or influenced, or attempted to be biased or influenced, by Mr. Leech, or any friend of the prisoner I most positively deny ; neither (as I have before stated) was Mr. Leech present during the inquiry.: " With regard to the statement of the magistrates in their letter of the 15th inst., that Townley's removal to Bethle hem Hospital was effected by the expenditure of money, I can on►y say that I am entirely ignorant as to any and (if any) what expenditure there has been in the matter. Some expense may possibly have been incurred (though as to this I have no knowledge) by Townley's family or friends in engaging the services of Mr. Leech ; and beyond this I do not suppose the magistrate's remark was intended to ex tend. If, indeed, they can have intended to insinuate that the opinions or acts of myself or the magistrates or medical men who acted with me in signing the certifi cates of the 27th and 23th of December were directly or in directly in my way so irfluenc I beg, as regards myself, to give such an insinuation my most unqualified and in dignant denial, and as regards each and all of those who acted with me, to express my entire conviction that it is utterly unfounded. " If on any point relative to the matters referred to in Mr. Waddington's letter of the 19th inst. (which, I may add, I did not receive until yesterday) I have been less ex plicit than I have wished to be, and should you desire a fuller explanation, I shall be most happy to afford it you.— I am, &c., " W. T. Cox, J.P. for the County and Borough of Derby. To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., &C. it Derby, Jan. 22 " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., with enclosures, which I have carefully read, and I beg to state in reply to the first of the passages mentioned by you that there was no doubt what ever existing on the minds of my brother magistrates and myself as to the 'nature and effect of the act' performed by us in certifying to the insanity of Georg© Victor Townley. Before we signed the certificate dated the 27th of Decen3, ber, 1863, the Act of Parliament bearing on the case was read and fully discussed and understood by us. " With reference to our being' put in motion by the pri soner's solicitor,' this is untrue if by these words the Der byshire magistrates wish to impute that any unjust or un lawful means were adopted to induce us to take the steps we did ; and it is only by the words previously quoted—viz., ' put in motion,' that I surmise the Derbyshire magistrates would imply that Townley's removal to Bethlehem was effected by the expenditure of money.' "I have only to add that I did not take part in, nor do I know of, any act periormed by my brother magistrates or myself in this business which did not arise from pure and conscientious motives.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, "TiIOISIA.S ROE, Mayor. "To U. Waddington, Esq." " Derby, Jan. 22. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., with enclosure, and to thank you for the op portunity you have thus afforded me of giving you a lull explanation of the course which I took with regerd to the case of George Victor Townley, and of answering the state ments so far as they affect me contained in the letter ad dressed to you by the magistrates of the county of Derby. On the 26th of December I was requested by Townley's solicitor to attend at the gaol, in company with other magis trates and two medical men, for the purpose of examining Townley and reporting to you our opinion as to his state of mind. I felt and expressed great reluctance to take any action in the matter, but after full consideration I consented to do so. I was at the time entirely ignorant of the provisions of the Act of the 3d and 4th of Victoria, cap. 54, and of the powers thereby given. "On Sunday, the 27th December, Mr. VT. T. Cox, the Mayor, Dr. Goode, Mr. Harwood, and myself had a long interview with the prisoner. Mr. Harwood has been surgeon to the Board of Guardians for upwards of 20 years, and in that capacity has examined most of the pauper lunatics sent from Derby to the asylum during that period. Dr. Goode has also had considerable experience in cases of lunacy. Mr. Harwood, from his great experience, appeared to us to be the most proper person to conduct the examination of Townley, which he mainly did, and to our entire satisfac tion. " I entered upon the enquiry without any bias, and with a sincere desire to arrive at a just decision. Ido not claim to be an expert, nor to be better able than other non-profes sional men to form a correct opinion on such a subject, nor do I profess to understand the difference between insanity and unsoundness of mind ; but I judged of the prisoner's mental condition to the best of my ability, and I came to the conclusion that he was insane. Our decision was una nimous. The chaplain, surgeon, and governor of the gaol, who had been present during our examination, entirely con curred in that decision, and to sign at once the legal certifi cate was in my opinion the only course open to me, consi dering my conscientious conviction of the prisoner's in vanity." "For myself I deny the allegation of the Derbyshire jus- tices that the certificate was expressed in terms directly opposed to the publicly-eeclared intention of those who signed it.' Before entering upon the examination I read carefully the clause in the Act 3d and 4th of Victoria, cap. 54, and knew perfectly well what I was doing. " The justices' letter asserts that ' Townley's removal to Bethlehem was effected by the agency of his solicitor and by the expenditure of money.' " If by this they intend to convey the impression that I was in any way unduly influenced by money, or any other consideration, they assert that which is entirely untrue. " If they know, or have reason to believe, that money has been improperly used, they ought, in common fairness, to state in what manner it has been applied, instead of, by implication, casting suspicion on all concerned. If, on the contrary, they have no knowledge on the subject, they have no right to insinuate a charge of so serious a character which they cannot substantiate. " I was admitted to see the prisoner by the order of Mr. Mundy, chairman of the visiting justices. I was not aware of the circumstances under which that order was obtained, but Mr. Mundy himself has thrown light upon it by his speech at Quarter Sessions on the sth of January, from which I quote, as reported in the Derby Mercury of the 6th January : " The day after Christmas-day I received an applica tion from the attorney for the defence that two or three magistrates and two medical gentlemen should be allowed to see the prisoner, and, having been made acquainted with the Act of Parliament which authorised such an interview, I felt that I had no alternative but to do so.' " How Mr. Mundy, on careful perusal of the clause in the Act of Parliament referred to, came to the conclusion that, supposing the two or three magistrates and two medical gentlemen' believed Townley to be insane, any other conse quence could result than that which actually followed I am at a loss to know. ,6 In conclusion, I again beg to disclaim being influenced by any other than aconscientious desire to give an unbiased opinion,—l have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, " THOS. B. FORMAN. To the Right lion Sir George Grey Bart., her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Rome Department, &c." "Draycott-house, Jan. 23. " Sir, —In reply to your letter of the 19th inst., which was only received yesterday, I beg to inform you that when I signed the certificate on the 29th of December last of the insanity of George Victor Townley I was unaware of its effect been as regard obligationfrom on you. And I should have taken an earlier oppo rtunit y of informing you of this had I not mthe fact of the respite being granted before the cert ificate of the 29th of December had been received by you, th at y o u had throughout acted on the I led to its believe, first certificate. ,g I was never in any way influenced by the prisoner's soli citor, being in the first instance applied to by the surgeon of the gaol (Or. Gisborne), who sent over a note to me on the morning of the 29th of December, urgently requesting my attendance at his house that afternoon on the subject of Townley's insanity, where the necessity of my presence 'would be fully explained. This explanation was never given, as Mr. Gladstone neither received me at his house nor appeared until late on the same afternoon. I met my brother magistrate Mr. Cox there and Mr. Leech, the pri- Boner's attorney, who informed us that a meeting was to bo held at the county gaol at 3 o'clock, requesting us to be there. I then found it was for the purpose of being present at a private examination into the state of Townley's mind that I had been sent for. " We were there joined by Dr. Goode and Dr. Harwood. The prisoner was then brought before us, and examined by us for two hours. " During that time 1 became convinced, and my convic tion still remains, that the prisoner was of unsound mind, and my own judgment was strengthened and confirmed by the opinions then expressed by...the governor and chaplain of the gaol. "The certificate was then signed by me in the belief that I was merely certifying m y own conviction of the insanity of Townley. " I know nothing whatever of any expenditure of money in the business.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant, " W. HUGH SCOTT. "To the Right Hon. Sir Geo. Grey, Bart." LOOKING A NICE LITTLE GIFT PONY IN THE MOUTH.—I was surveying the collection of New Year taxes which had been levied by Madame de H. Her fair daughter was at hand. I lifted a very pretty box, lightly and brightly put together. I remarked that tho taste shown in it was exquisite. The young lady shrugged her shoulders, and answered—" That, Monsieur : I'm sure it didn't cost ten francs p' Unhappy wight is he who had given that exquisite little box of sweetmeats to Madame de H. It is true that he is only a young employe at the Ministry of the Interior, and that he has only a very few hundred francs per annum ; nevertheless he should not have done this thing. He should have put the watch his mother gave him into " Piety's fair Mount"—and have lived for a month or two on haricots—and, in this way, afforded to march boldly into therenowned establishment of Siraudin.

He left the house to look for the woman, and on returning to the house asked her for the half•crown, and on her denying that she had it, he gave her into custody. Rosina Thompson, a little girl, daughter of the prosecu tor, said that on her father dropp:ing the half-crown, the prisoner trod on her fingers, kicked the half-crown away, and then picked it up and left the house. She then told her father, who went after the prisoner. In answer to the Chief Clerk the witness said shs was positive the prisoner was the woman.
